It's back!

designbyhumans.com/shop/t-shirt/2ez-classic/34141/

how is arc warden op if you can just tp out?

nice memes

real good

well done

>Bulba
How does he do it?

No casual streamer to watch, but hey atleast RTZ, Sing and Envy are all back on Twitch. Bulldog also streaming consistently now. Its why League has tons of total hours but such a small amount of esport hours.

League players stream like every day.

the graphs on the left are the subreddits traffic in uniques and pageviews

the thing on the right is the current popularity of games in korean pc bangs, before ovewatch was released LoL had 40%+ of the pc bang market, now it has less then 25%

7th for NPWNL

what does it imply that there is a game right now being played after 15 years with a big playerbase

top 2 na?

this game sucks ass

do you think the plays dota?

what are the top 5 alive games in this board

>Veeky Forums
>alive

>Shitposting
but its the truth

you need a good game and its factually not going to be made

not a single good and i mean really good game has come out for at least 8+ years and counting 99.9% of all released have been garbage

CSGOfags get drops from watching on twitch so they mass bot

Its so ridiculous that during an event where only people who assisted would get drops,
they even made an app to spoof cellphones GPS location or however that works to make it so the system thought they were in the arena

Valve killed dota

and Riot killed LoL when they removed their ranked Solo queue which makes you wonder if it was already dying long ago

reminder that when thinking about why you lost a game "we got outdrafted" is NOT a valid reason unless you are all 9k and play everything perfectly

youtube.com/watch?v=U-tWYPALT1g

dota2, overwatch, lol, final fantasy,

don't know the rest
you can look if a thread has been alive for more than 7 hours (like csgo, sc2) that means it's dead

>if its shitposting its not the truth!
youve never heard of meme magic, newfag?

way to out yourself you non pol fag

wow is pretty alive right now

I would say Hearthstone is more consistent tho

>dota2
how the fuck is it one of the top 5 games alive if doturds think of it as dead then?

Shitposting implies the post has no value mememagic or not

dotards are the self destructive kind. IT's why they torture themselves solo queueing in this game.

Valve killed the game therefore the thread died and theres no waifu shit or other stuff for the community to rally around

albeit most waifushittery is just marketers trying to keep the thread alive

>this fucking new kid in town

yeah check this delusional dotard ^

>normies
>fullNEETs

post yous!

THIS IS WHAT I MEANT. WHAT I FEARED THE MOST. FUCKING BULBA ON LIQUID JUST FUCK MY SHIT UP SENPAI. WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING THEY HAD A GOOD LINEUP WITH MIRACLE ALL THE HAD TO DO WAS PICK A PLAYER OTHER THAN BULBA BUT FUCK ME THEY HAD TO PICK THIS STUPID TIER 4 PLAYER.

>calls new kid
>post a picture that implies he doesn't get it

like the worst part is that bulba on coach would have made this team even better if they had a legit fucking support.

let me guess
you think bulldog is good

Liquid Boobalah

HAHAHAHAHAHA

>being triggered by bulba, our guy

is there a better solution to selling dota 2 items for real money than loot market?

(Me)

>being this triggered
pooetry

Is BSJ really 8/18 against 2k players

holy fuck im so tired of playing against morphling

What heroes should I use to go on a PUB STOMPING SPREE? These fucking newbs don't deserve to play dota. I'ma show them who's boss.

>even a 7k player can't carry 2ks with one of his main heroes

Remember this next time you make fun of low mmr players.

2 wins and not in high skill

holy shit how bad are you

All that means is even 7k players are dog shit and 8k is the cutoff for having more than 2 brain cells

>ou make fun of low mmr players.
thats exactly why we must make fun of you
fucking 2k trash

how do u even manage to breath
worse than subhuman fucks

i'm in high skill now from the slark game, would relatively guarantee because i had 30k damage. i should've been in from the omniknight game but the team refused to win the game that i won for them in 20 minutes

won't make that mistake again

>pick best hero in the game
>do everything right
>newbies flee to all corners of the map solo in order to get 200 gold then die, 17 times in a row

DOTARDS

BUILD THE HOTD
DOMINATE THE SATYRS

>tfw your all hero challenge is making you play mid heroes and carries before the comfy support heroes
Why am I even doing the all-hero challenge

Kunkka
Timbersaw
Meepo
Templar Assassin
Naga Siren
Juggernaut
Storm Spirit
Invoker
Tinker
Puck

>tier 4 player
>literal ti winner
?

what happened to syllabear memebuild
its more fun

well, if you've got micro, Meepo is good. and I don't know how much you like his guides, but this is a good pub stomper (mostly because solo queue is retards) youtube.com/watch?v=fVaeznMNQsA

>here you see the sub 1k tower damage troll

truly amazing

honestly that creep is stupidly good especially early

because trophies, user

Think of the trophies

>professional esports 7K MMR LEGEND BSJ losing at 2K

so how do you build/ skill enchantress these days? is offlane lvl 1 enchant then max untouchable or is she back to being a jungle hero

>having to play hard

fuck that man i can just pick slark until i'm VHS (and beyond)

I hate fucking playing slark though. Whats the secret to not missing pounce? I still miss fucking pounce all the fucking time

refer to my omniknight game posted above

you cant win this game solo anymore regardless of what people think, not since heroes like TA and storm became far less relevant

maybe with meepo you can, but you can also get shut out as meepo even by 2ks, because the other 4 people on your team are doing absolutely nothing

How the fuck do I improve my account standing? I fixed my connection, focused on PMA and still ended up getting reported by four different retards. I know for a fact I did nothing wrong and I bet my random teammates were reported too.

The Peruvians force you to keep playing with them because they will report you for literally anything, or no reason at all I imagine. I don't even care if I get rekt by people cooperating better than me, I just want to be paired with people who aren't shrieking manchildren.

well, Slark and Timber are the free win heros.

Have you tried Faceless Void or Arc Warden(mid carry)?

starcrumps have been pushing the "le bubble has burst" meme since TI4

i never see that on other vg boards
why d2g specifically

I'd say even Meepo can't 1v9 because he's fragile without allies to help take damage. Otherwise they just spam nukes at one instance and gg.

has PPD done a draft analysis of the brew master yet? i really want to watch it

sc2 cucks jumped onto dota 2 during like 2013 because they where autistic enough to think supporting dota would kill LoL and that would somehow help SC2

when cs go got big they jumped onto that
Now it's overwatch

where are the deadgame posters now?
i thought it was real for a second

now youre all just memeing lols

Sounds like they're mad that SC is no longer relevant in pop culture and that competitive vidya has moved on.

its a dead as fuck game tho

its literally starcraft 2 gayboys wishing dota would fail like their game did

Hotbid even wrote about how the whole "SC2 is dying" rhetoric became a self fulling prophecy

What if there was a special queue only for people who have completed an all hero challenge?

they've been mad since like late 2012

hahhaha
like u said end of dota ti4 cuz chinkz ahahaha

Golden days of SC2 were fucking hype though. RIP 2010-2011

have you tried winning?

what is the best hero to play when you want to hit 6 then wreck all lanes?

zeus is pretty good but too easily countered

>became a self fulling prophecy

totally nothing to do with blizzard

>releasing a fucking terrible client
>fucking up the korean scene by blocking kespa and ogn and giving the rights to broadcast the game to some literal trash random studio
>being absolute trash at balance like all of their other games

and most importantly

>releasing a fucking shit game as the successor to BW

>Golden days of SC2 were fucking hype though
you wish

i bet you still believe sc2 was le kings of shitposting lul

>Gets btfo
>T-triggered
pathetic

so when do SEAcret play their first match?

how bad will RTZ do on EG this time around?

how is fluffnstuff still in the scene? doesnt he have to go to work or some shit and provide for himself?

absolute kek
>>>sc2g


post more of dota being dead
need more

t. sc2 gayboy

I mean sure Blizzard didn't help but plenty of games can have decent competitive scenes without developer support but parts of the Starcraft community just turned on the game when they saw a slight down turn

They even set up a subreddit for it (which also saw use from the HoN commuinity)

reddit.com/r/dedgaem

Some people just revel in that kind of shit

>gets btfo
>doesn't deny it
>Tries to associate me with a group that is hated despite i hate that game and the group myself
btfo again

>tfw havent played dota in ages and only play wow now
sorry guys but valve sucks

yeah but blizzard sucks worse
especially WoW

why do so many teams change after every major/ti?

because they want to win

heres what I was talking about

ask.fm/HotBid/answers/128510246314

Everything about it was completely manufactured and forced; the prizepools, the hype, "Tastosis." There's a reason why it died; they ran out of the money to force it. dota 2 is self sustainable through its playerbase; at it's peak like only 10k people played starcraft 2

Coming back to DotA after a month hiatus and still getting 10+ cpm and 800+ gpm with my husbando am

Feels good

because all the pros are petulant children, hence why they play video games for a living.

so i have not played ranked in like a year. when i stopped i was 2.8k, now it says on dotabuff im very high skill. if i started playing ranked again would i actually be better or worse?

because after like 6 or so lans your team isn't going to improve much

meaning if you aren't winning at this point you probably aren't going to win, and so you make changes

actually no
Overwatch is lightyears better than tf2/csgo in regards to the client

you can spray in Overwatch before csgo kek

Why does PA never have any more items than an abyssal blade and BKB?

[x] Unsubscribe

because they want to win
TI is all that matters, so teams will change before/after it

look at OG kek, bombed out and disbanded even though they won 2 majors

because at that point the BKB is probably short and she is easily kited and the enemy carry probably has mkb so she is basically useless

wery high is around 3.7k

>literally uses blizzards only hope left

>ignores sc2 dying
>hearthstone dying
>HotS dead on arrival
>diablo long forgotten
>literally last year they stopped releasing WoW sub numbers because they where getting to record lows

blizzard atleast updates their games and doesnt ignore feedback lmao
